Welcome to Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, the third instalment in the Splinter Cell Franchise. It is a stealth game that focus on in the interplay of light and shadow. Even though the game offers an avenue for aggressive assault, this playthrough will seek to catch and interrogate as many hostiles in every single mission as possible and interrogate them for information relevant to the missions. The goal in the end is to complete all objectives and get through the missions without raising any alarms.
A new situation has developed in the Pacific Ocean as Chinese and North Korean forces have taken over a Japanese Cargo ship full of workers. However, that is a concern for someone like the Delta Force or the Navy SEALs. What brings this situation to NSA's Third Echelon's attention is the fact that a prominent researching named Bruce Morgenholt who was working on the Masse Kernels left behind by Phillip Masse has been kidnapped by one Hugo Lacerda and is being held captive in the Punta Blanco Lighthouse near Talara, Peru.
The 3E decides to send their best man, Sam Fisher into the castle so that he may infiltrate the area without raising alarms, find Morgenholt and during his extraction, destroy any evidence he may have divulged under the pressure of torture. Taking Lacerda's head is a secondary priority should the chance present itself.
Upon infiltrating the castle with the lightouse through an underground cave system, Sam hears the sound of gunshots that don't belong to an AK. This piques curiosity since Guerillas typically prefer the Khalashnikov and Sam is told to investigate the matter by scanning the weapon crates in their possession. He soon walks into Morgenholt being electrocuted for infromation and sadly, the mercenaries go overboard and Morgenholt is killed in the process. Sam decides to put his body down as a mark of respect and decency.
He proceeds onward to find out that Lacerda has already left the premises on a Cargo Ship. With his secondary objective cancelled, Sam goes ahead and discretely wipes the laptop with the data from Bruce clean. The next step is to figure out where Lacerda is. At the lighthouse, Sam overhears the radioman talking to someone aboard the Maria Narcissa in the Caribbean Sea. Being a potential lead on Hugo, Sam just has to switch off the light on top of the lighthouse to extract.
